I print off and on, often with gaps of many months, and every time I do I have trouble getting the screen to match the printer, ugh!
I have a Mac mini M1, a BenQ SW271, and am printing to a Canon ipf8400 with Canson Edition Etching paper. I calibrated the monitor with i1 Display Pro.
My problem is that I'm getting greens on screen that are significantly lighter and more saturated than the print (a picture of a eucalyptus tree). Original was raw Fuji file. I also ran a sRGB "test print" from the internet and there are no color casts but the saturation is a slightly too low. I have not yet tested for other high saturation colors other than the green (next on my list).
Using Photoshop but Lightroom produced the same result.
How to trouble-shoot?
I updated the driver for the i1 Display which seemed to help a little.
I find color management bewildering--not so much the concept but why this hasn't all been simplified by now!
Proof Setup is set to correct paper profile. Proof Colors is on.
Photoshop print dialog has correct paper profile, Photoshop manages colors. Perceptual with black point compensation. Printer driver dialog has Fine Art Textured selected (which matches Canson's instructions).
Printer is set to Special 5 or Fine Art Text, or the paper profile--doesn't seem to matter.
Obviously I've missed something important but where to start?
Thanks for any help--I've been a day and a half on this and not there yet...
